Seel (Japanese: パウワウ Pawou) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Dewgong starting at level 34.
Biology
Seel is a pinniped Pokémon with a thick hide covered in bluish-white fur. It has a pale tan maw with a large red tongue and a pair of tusks on its lower jaw. It has circular eyes and a black nose that is capable of closing when it swims. There is a small horn on its forehead, which it uses in combination with its tusks to bore through ice floes. It has two flippers on its chest, and two more on the end of its tail. When the tail is raised, it resembles a waterspout.
Seel lives on icebergs in frigid ocean waters. Its warm fur and thick hide allow it to swim in waters as cold as -40° Fahrenheit (-40° Celsius). It thrives in these cold environments, becoming more active as the temperature drops and tires easily in warm waters. Preferring to sleep during the day, it hunts for prey under sheets of ice in the late day and evening hours. While it is a graceful swimmer, it is awkward and struggles to move on dry land.
Evolution
Seel evolves into Dewgong.

In the TCG
- Main article: Seel (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Seel is a Pokéfloat. After the second half of Venusaur is revealed, the screen moves continually to the right without stopping and so fighting does not stay on Seel for very long.
Trivia
- Seel shares its category with Dewgong and Popplio. They are all known as the Sea Lion Pokémon.
- Seel is the only non-Ice-type Pokémon that can have Ice Body as its Ability. Consequently, Seel is the only Pokémon with Ice Body to benefit from its hail immunity, since all other Pokémon with the Ability are naturally immune to hail damage due to their typing.
Origin
Seel may be based on an earless seal, particularly a harp seal pup due to its white fur and icy habitat. It also shares characteristics with other aquatic mammals that live in the Arctic Ocean. Its long, white body is similar to a beluga whale, its horn may be inspired by a narwhal, and its tusks may be inspired by a walrus. The shape of its tail resembles a stylized waterspout or geyser.
Name origin
Seel is derived from seal.
Pawou may be derived from an onomatopoeia of a seal's bark.
